Summary

Introduction

Teach people to make good decisions and you equip them to improve their own futures and become contributing members of society, rather than burdens to society.

It is clearly better than enduring the consequences of making bad decisions and better than burdening friends, family, and all the rest of us with the unwanted and avoidable consequences of those poor choices. What are some of the basic skills that school should teach students to promote critical thinking? This paper focuses on the university as the basic educational institution that should promote the preparation of students with the ability to express and apply critical thinking to every link of their student, professional, or academic performance in the future. How does school promote these strategies or teaching methods to students?
